The fifth edition of Obama Cup takes place on the 1st of February, 2020. The event was initially organised to bring together former Strathmore University FC players to remember one of their own, Allan “Obama” Onyango. The annual football tournament has since grown to become an excellent sporting attraction in Nairobi while drawing attention from around the globe owing to its unique concept.

Football Foundation for Africa (FFA)  is an international social enterprise aiming to improve the quality of opportunities in the African football industry by driving more investments into grassroots football. In August 2018, FFA decided to take Obama Cup to the continent as FFA Cup, an event that doubled as the launch of the foundation.
